IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY CAR-TRUCKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,533, dated July 2, 1872.

Specification describing a new and Improved Truck for Railroad Cars, invented by JOS S. CAMACHO, of Habana, in the Island of Cuba.

Figure l represents a sectional side view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are vertical transverse sections ofthe same taken on the planes of lines c o and k k, Fig. l, respectively.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

This invention has for its object to insure the Y proper position of wheels of railroad cars while running on curves; and the invention consists in the arrangement of a swivel-frame holding two pairs of wheels, so that each wheel can turn independent of the others, as hereinafter more fully described.

A in the drawing represents part of the body of a railroad car or engine. B is a metal frame,

carrying the axles a a of two wheels, C C, said axles beingin line with but disconnected from each other. The pivot b, by which the frame B is connected to the car, is, as near as possible, in line with the axis of the Wheels C C,

' site each other on the curve, preventing them from twisting and binding on the rails.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and` desire to secure by Letters Patent- The swivel-frame B, provided with the arms d d, and furnishing bearings for the axles a a. and e e of the wheels C C and D D, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
